Liverpool go for Saúl

Saúl is the great hot potato of the summer at Atlético. In a market marked by the continuity of the champion bloc and austerity in the reinforcements (shared so far also by its rivals), The big question is if the 8 he will continue one more year in the team. Despite having had a difficult season, he has suitors. According to reports from England, Liverpool prepares an offer of 40 million for the Elche medium.

When Ace counted in March that Saúl was determined to leave Atlético, the first candidate who tested the footballer was Bayern. But it soon seemed clear that the future of the player was to continue as rojiblanco or through the Premier. And to Liverpool, who have lost Wijnaldum (free to PSG), it fits him perfectly Saúl, who feels that his style has a place in British football.

The next point is the figures. Saúl is one of the most important assets of the squad of Atlético, with whom he has contract until 2026 with essential player cache. The clause is 150 million, figure unattainable at the moment for any interested party. The rojiblanco club agrees to open the door to the footballer, but for an amount that satisfies everyone. From inside the club they don't set a price, but they do they expect to receive offers above those 40 million, being aware of how the market is due to the pandemic and the soccer player's price.

In the last year went from undisputed and most used player to losing his place in the eleven type of Simeone, although he never disappeared from the team. Either from the bench or taking advantage of absences from the starters, Saúl always appeared. Cholo acknowledged that he was not at his best, as did the player, although confidence has not ceased to exist. With everything, went from 4,246 minutes in the 19-20 to 2,673 in the last. But it cannot be said that it was not relevant to the League.

Even so, Saúl understood that maybe it was time to leave. In the last year, Captain Koke, Lemar and Llorente they formed the ideal triangle in the center of the field. Now comes from Paul, Simeone's request, to raise the competition. Y Herrera likes Cholo and Kondogbia, with a more specific role, he has to grow. His versatility plays in favor of Saúl. In Simeone's variable scheme, the player from Elche can occupy any position in the center of the field or on the left wing, although the player is not enthusiastic about this. But Saúl does not spare not much less in the Atlético squad.

The Premier knocks on the door: United, Chelsea …

Liverpool think of him 8 to reinforce his midfield with a powerful, hard-legged footballer, with a good punch and a great arrival at the rival area that made him the object of desire of many greats in Europe. Now, after a difficult year, the medium feels that it can recover its best version if it starts a new adventure. Manchester United, who may lose Pogba, he hasn't taken his eye off him for years Y Tuchel also has it on his agenda for Chelsea. Saúl is still an object of desire in Europe.
